Abstract: An electronically scanned antenna array system with dynamic signal routing t o a set of receivers. A monopulse electronically scanned antenna (ESA) has a plurality of antenna elements divided into subarrays. ESA beam steering phas e shifters are associated with the respective subarrays of antenna elements, such that the output signals from the respective antenna elements associated with the respective quadrants are phase shifted and summed to provide respective subarray signals. A monopulse network responsive to the subarray signals provides monopulse outputs to a set of receivers. A beam steering controller provides phase shift commands to the ESA phase shifters to set th e phase shift associated with the respective phase shifters of the subarrays. The controller commands the ESA phase shifters to modulate the phase shift o f selected quadrants. The phase shifts associated with the subarrays are selectively set to either 0 or 180 degrees relative to one of the subarrays by adding the desired subarray phase shift (0 or 180 degrees) to the beam steering phase command at each element. This produces the main array signals . By setting the subarray's phase shifts, the main array signals are appropriately steered to the desired receivers. The dynamic signal routing c an also be used with non-electronically scanned systems.

Title: Modular rim board for floor and rafter systems
Inventor: BROWN COMER
IPC: E04B5/12
Filed: 2003-02-27
Granted: 2008-05-13
Abstract: An engineered perimeter rim board with machined or otherwise-formed modular recessed receptacles receives and secures I-joists and other manufactured joists at pre- designated spaces along the length of the rim board. The rim board provides pre-measured joist securement locations and structural enhancements by "locking" the joists into position. Receptacles machined/cut into the rim board may be of various shapes, such as a rectangular recess with a flat planar back wall, a profiled recess with curved top and bottom compartments, and/or an angled recess wherein two sidewalk converge to create a recess without a back wall for receiving joists at positions other than perpendicular to the rim board. The preferred 90-degree receptacle profile provides an I-joist web receiving slot for additional lateral support to help prevent joists from buckling, twisting or rolling over.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein a gas collision cell is repeatedly switched between a fragmentation and a non-fragmentation mode. Parent ions from a first sample are passed through the collision cell and parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. Parent ions from a second sample are then passed through the collision cell and a second set of parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. The mass spectra are then compared and if either certain parent ions or certain fragmentation ions in the two samples are expressed differently then further analysis is performed to seek to identify the ions which are expressed differently in the two different samples.

Abstract: An improved method is disclosed for collecting or assembling scalar potential data measurements that are to be subsequently prepared as a surface representation for analysis via frequency domain transform filters. Measurements are made over a geographic reference region which extends in all cardinal directions from the center of some previously determined primary region. The reference dimensions must contain the primary region and must be plural multiples of the dimensions of the primary region, and must also be plural multiples of the greatest depth to be considered in analyzing the contributions to the measurements within the primary region. The frequency domain transform filters used in the methods should be applied iteratively in a logical manner to the surface representation to take advantage of the increase in information. These combined and separate methods improve resolution of geological structures over depths and spatial extents under consideration.
